Methods. Prior to conducting the clinical trial, PTM was modified to incorporate critical components of CBT at all levels of intervention so as to address the psychological effects of tinnitus. Qualifying Veteran subjects (n=150 at each site) were randomized into either PTM or Wait List Control. Self-perceived tinnitus handicap was evaluated pre- and post-intervention for each subject using the Tinnitus Handicap Inventory. The five audiologists and two psychologists who participate in this study were interviewed to determine their level of satisfaction with the PTM protocol to which they are assigned. Evaluation of the program will determine its efficacy, and will identify areas of needed improvement.
